Book your stay at House of Hulda — a heritage homestay and café in Naggar, Manali. Private rooms, a shared attic-loft, the whole home, and creative residencies.
A Private Room
Your own kathkuni room — hand-plastered walls, deodar beams, a warm lantern, and a bed dressed in Himachali wool. The valley wakes you; the café is one floor up.
We'll keep the light on.
Whenever you make the climb to Naggar, there's a warm room, a full table and a quiet corner of the valley waiting — held by hand, in stone and deodar, at 2,000m.
The people who keep the light on.
We rebuilt a stone-and-deodar kathkuni home the way the valley always built them — by hand, no cement — and opened it up: a café in the attic, a table for everyone, the orchard for wandering. You arrive a guest and leave family.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is House of Hulda a private home or a shared stay?+
Both. You can book a private kathkuni room (styled with mud plaster and deodar beams), a single bed in our shared attic café-loft, or rent the entire house for a group, family, or team offsite.
Do you serve food?+
Yes — our kitchen serves authentic Himachali home-cooked thalis, mountain breakfasts, and fresh coffee. The attic-loft café is open through the daytime, and at night, we gather around one communal table.
How is the WiFi speed for remote work?+
We have high-speed, stable fiber broadband that covers the entire property, including the private rooms, deck, and attic café. It's reliable for video calls, heavy code pushes, and remote work.
Can we host startup team offsites?+
Absolutely. The house is designed for structured focus and deep work. We can host small teams (up to 8 people) with full boarding, private rooms, and dedicated workspace in the attic café.
How do I reach Naggar from Manali?+
